Carl Frampton fired up for Belfast extravaganza

Carl Frampton believes he will headline “one of the biggest boxing bills Irish boxing has ever seen” when he makes his ring return on the same night that Jamie Conlan will challenge for a world title in Belfast.

Former two-weight world champion Frampton will step through the ropes for the first time in 10 months when he headlines a Frank Warren card on BT Sport at the SSE Odyssey Arena on November 18.

Chief support on the night will be Conlan — elder brother of two-time Olympian Michael — who finally competes for world honours as the undefeated super-flyweight challenges Filipino IBF champion Jerwin Ancajas, while Paddy Barnes will also defend his WBO European flyweight title on the stacked bill.
